This incident is reminiscent of a strange story in the Qur’an. A mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
And according to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
Until the encouragement Islamic law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
More on this story. “Deciding on her death: the ‘honour’ killing of Sargul Habibi,” by Jabar Dastbaz, Rudaw, December 29, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
SANANDAJ, Iran — In the dark of night, Sargul Habibi was in a car being been driven through Sanandaj, a city in the Kurdish west of Iran. She looked around warily, her black eyes wide with fear, her breathing getting heavier and louder. She knew that begging for mercy would not change her eventual fate; she could only wait for her brothers’ deliberation to end in a decision.
The decision made was to kill her. Sargul, a 31-year-old and the mother of two children, was stabbed to death by her brothers on November 29, after being caught with a man who wasn’t her husband at her home in the city’s Farah neighborhood, named after Farah Diba Pahlavi, wife of the overthrown Shah of Iran. The area is now officially known as Shuhada – martyrs in Farsi – but use of the name Farah persists among locals.
A relative who witnessed the lead-up to her death told Rudaw English of both the cooperation and resistance exhibited by members of Sargul’s family as that decision was made, then executed. The relative told the story of Sargul’s murder anonymously, fearing repercussions from other family members if they were to be revealed as a whistleblower.
The murder of women and girls like Sargul at the hands of their own family is a far from extraordinary event in Iran. The women and girls are often killed by their male kin – their fathers, brothers, and husbands – in the name of honour. There is no comprehensive data on the number of honour-based killings in the country, but Iran had reported 8,000 such murders between 2010 and 2014, according to an academic study published by the Iran-based Quarterly Journal of Social Development. According to Hengaw, a monitor of human rights violations against Kurds in Iran, at least three honour killings took place in Iran’s Kurdish west in the 12 months ending on November 29, 2020….
Blood poured from a deep wound on Sargul’s neck, turning her dress red. More knife wounds marked her arm and shoulder. “We were getting close to Be’sat hospital in Sanandaj when Ismail’s wife started crying, and said that she was done for. She was already dead when we arrived at the hospital.”
Mount Zion says
How do you keep going after you have killed your sister , that’s gotta be such a havy burden on your soul . I bet the killers were under lots of pressure by their family to act on their sisyer’s alleged infidelity .
God I hate Islam , and please don’t give me the usual crap that honour killings have nothing to do with Islam .
Keith O says
MZ, The problem with what you said is basic.
Mudslimes no longer have souls, so no burden to be had! This sort of behavior is not that of civilised humans, but rather 7th century superstitious barbarians.

Those who embrace the horrors of Islam have rejected normal human feeling.
Westman says
We could say that Islam creates animals yet that would be inaccurate and a taint upon animals whose behavior is programmed by their genes. No, Islam takes an innocent child and progams it with the option to be a human predator whose permitted victims are any humans not fully compliant to Islamic law.
James Lincoln says
Westman says,
“…Islam takes an innocent child and progams it with the option to be a human predator whose permitted victims are any humans not fully compliant to Islamic law.”
100% true.
Unfortunately, children born in islamic republics often also suffer the results of generations of inbreeding. First cousins marrying first cousins, etc.
This results in lower than average IQ which makes them more impressionable / more violent…
sweetolbob says
Oh, well, just a couple of devil-may-care, muslim young men, practicing to be all grown up so that they can “regulate” the behavior of their own children. Nothing to worry about. It’s all in the family.
Mojdeh says
Well Islam is religion Psycho, Even those say I am Muslims do not practice any craps like this. Because people of Iran know that as soon as true democratic forces in Iran take over , by nuking Iran or by will of Millions Iranian , when Iranian people become ISIS for 10 days all this regime will be ending? May be 1 Months.At the most indeed.Right is not given , Right is must be taken by force. still 4 planes are ready to take Generals and Mojtaba and Kjamanie dead body out of Iran.We ask Iranian navy, Army, Air Force of Iran disobey your stupid damn Generals order and fire it at the houses of Khamanie and his bunkers.
We already given all ordinances of all your missiles under ground? Islam out of Iran now.
gravenimage says
Mojdeh, these Muslims are Iranian, so not all Iranians have rejected Islam.
Infidel says
Yeah, but something about the name of this woman and the fact that she lived in a Kurdish area suggests that she was a Kurd. This story seems not so much an Iran story as much as a Kurd story, and why President Trump was right in not trying to create a Kurdistan carveout from Syria or Iraq. The Kurds may be victims of Arabs, Turks and Farsis, but they’re every bit as islamic as their oppressors

Iran: Muslim brothers murder their sister, a mother of two, on suspicion of adultery
……………
This *poor woman*. God, I hate Islam.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
She escaped Islam the only way you openly can.
somehistory says
This is what happens when people hand over their conscience to satan to do his bidding. Their consciences are burned so as not to feel any remorse, any affection for their family members, nor any guilt over murdering another person; no guilt over leaving two children without a mom to care for them.
These moslim murdering creeps are psychopaths.
There’s a saying about the death penalty by some who oppose it: Better to let a guilty person go free than to put an innocent man to death.
But, moslims don’t care if the person they murder is innocent of the things of which they have been accused. These scum are bloodthirsty and see themselves as receiving a large, sexy and drunken reward for passing judgment and sentence upon their sister.
Jesus said, “the one judging without mercy, will have his judgment without mercy.”
These children of satan ‘will reap what they have so freely sown.’
mtman2 says
Right so how does a fish leave the fish tank…?
Walter Sieruk says
That brutally cruel despicable malicious murder of this young woman most evil amd disturbing. To make matters even worse, if possible , that her brothers murdered her just on “suspicion “, hearsay of adultery is absurd. This incdent of murder further proves valid and true the saying that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
Such callous and deadly violence shows who Islam is able to harden the human heart even to the extent of cold-blooded murder.
This sin and murder affront is even made blantanty worse by the disingenuous and very dishonest “word play ” of changing the name of that malice-filled and deadly actions of “murder to the term “honor killing.”
This is just like scraping of label off a jar of ricin that reads “Danger poison” and replacing it with another label the reads “apple juice.”
Just by changing the label doesn’t in any way change the dangerous and deadly substance contained in that jar. Likewise, exchanging the word “murder” for the better sounding term “honor killing ” doesn’t change the heinous wickedness of that hideous action of murder.
This is ,of course both reason and logic and the committed religious mindset of a Muslim will not and cannot respond to reason ans logic.
In connection with this it’s been revealed that “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic Ideology.”
Islamic ideology is totally based on the foundation of the Islamic theology of Islam which is the Qu ‘ran and the Hadith.
In addition, from the same source just quoted it’s also been exposed that “The shocking reality is that most Muslim men, including those educated in the West, have no objection to honor killing and the degradation of women in their countries. Across the Muslim world , even in moderate Islamic countries,women’s rights are almost nonexistent…”Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”
The above quotes are from the book THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel. pages 171,172,

sweetolbob says
Just wondering why she would encourage acts of adultery when, if she had the usual muslim treatment and had been turned into a sexual punching bag and incubator, she wouldn’t give a Schiff about it.
Walter Sieruk says
The brutal cruel malicice -filled action of cold blooded murder of girls and young women which is so inappropriately and unfittingly called,in the Islamic world, “honor killing” is a very harsh reminder of the wisdom of Thomas Paine.
Who in his book entitled “THE AGE OF REASON he had written that “Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child cannot be a true system.”
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article, Sargul Habibi had suffered an “honor” killing – by her brothers – for the “suspicion” of committing adultery.
What would happen if it were later proven that the woman *had not* actually committed adultery?
What does sharia law say about this?
gravenimage says
James, also note that such innocent things as speaking with an unrelated man can be considered “adultery” in Islam.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
I wasn’t aware of that, thanks for the info…
gravenimage says
Yes, James–a lot of “adultery” in Islam is nothing we would recognize as such.
Mateen says
James,
Your question implies that anyone in that culture would be concerned to try to vindicate the victim’s honor, or that any legal entity would care to pursue the matter further (which would put the male family members in jeopardy). But to answer your question, the Muslim theological fallback position is that “Allah knows. If Sargul was unjustly executed, Allah will reward her with paradise.” So, all’s well that ends well….
gravenimage says
True, Mateen–that is always the out in Islam. If the victim was a good Muslim, then they go stright to paradise and actually owe that to their killer.

Well 90 Percent of Muslims are not Muslim… But fear of changing religions to Christians top of list.The day will come soon Many Muslim are or will cry of Jesys Christ save them from Islam of Abu Baker and Omar Osman and Impostor Mohamed. They know these people ruler of Iran are bunch of Arabs or made up religion from hell. Islam has written how to make fun with animals and etc.. These are bunch of psycho and i will not forgive them what they did me in Evin… I was innocent but because i am Persian lady. I ask all of those Hijab is do you sleep with it too then you must have FUNGUS .. Make sure get medical help if not other diseases as well. I hate all Islam from top to bottom. They stolen and killed real Mohamed. Then replaced it with this Psycho. Aisha was married to him at age of 40? I would kill that person wants touch or merry my daughters.
gravenimage says
Mojdeh, I do realize that it is dangerous for Muslims in Dar-al-Islam to openly leave Islam–but these Muslims murdering their poor sister and who abused you are pious Muslims.
And I’m afraid there is no indication that Muhammed was actually a wonderful person replaced by some mean guy who looked exactly like him. This is just more whitewash of the hideous “Prophet”.
Carol the 1st says
Mojdeh –
Did the “real Mohamed” bring a carpetbag of bad actions and supposedly sanctified theological controls with him – as exemplified by his later ‘replacement’ (the one not OF God but a long, impersonal stepping-stone away from his conveniently ‘inscrutable” version of said unifying god Allah)? Crazymaking stuff for sure!
If not, then WHAT type of person was the ‘real’ Mohamed (per your imaginings) and how does his character relate to some concoction/derivation known as “Islam” in any significantly divergent and humanly meaningful way? (BTW a little Islamic ‘charity’ gestures/strokes doesn’t provide sufficient soothing whitewash when matched against horrid, rationalized/sanctified pathetically insane crimes against countless dear specimens of flesh and blood humanity – like yourself, perhaps?)
You seem to be clinging to a wishful “graven image”. That particular name/imagining is long past its bedtime.
Written in the year 2021 A.D. believe it or not!
Jayell says
So they can carry out a draconian sentence on their own sister without a trial whilst effectively emjoying the right to adultery for themselves guaranteed by their ‘religion’? In the same way that they can protect their own property whilst, as muslims, presuming rights to everyone else’s? It certainly pays to be a muslim if you can do the ‘alpha male sociopath with an oversized ego’ routine, just like the ‘Holy Prophet’ (not so sure about anybody else).
Carol the 1st says
Jayell is being naughty. Men such as these ‘alphas’ are only trying to hold the world together since its evil contrariness is very well-known and violently demonstrated! Who can argue this?
The alphas’ reward for such humble and pious ‘Allah servitude’ is to walk through the raindrops and only get a wet pee pee – “on earth as it is in heaven” you might say (no relationship to the Lord’s Prayer of course!).
gravenimage says
Yes–Muslim men can marry up to four wives, summarily divorce any of them and marry others, plus have as many Infidel rape victims and sex slaves as they want, and still be considered “chaste”. But if a woman wants to marry for love or just speaks to the guy next door without a “Mehram” (male guardian) being present, she may be “Honor Killed”.
God, I hate Islam.

Well her brother may wanted her to have sex and sister said no , you are my brother. Then he killed her to cover his act of raping his sister. It has a lot, did you see that documentary i put for you marriage in Iran 1,2,3,4, 40….. This shame of shames, Iran is not my country it was stolen by terrorist sent by London and Jimmy Carter and Hindu born citizen.Ayatollah Khomeini . We will not forgive Jimmy Carter nor Queen of London. Long Live Israel and USA and NATO. Trump is #1
gravenimage says
Mojdeh, you are right that forced incest is very common in Islam, and sometimes the victim is killed to cover it up–just horrifying.
But Carter, as appalling a president as he was, did not invent the Ayatollah Khomeini, nor did he install him in Iran–he just didn’t go to war to keep the unpopular and ailing Shah in power. And you keep invoking the “Queen of London”, even though there is no such person. And the British Queen did not invent the Mullahs, either. They are Islamic.
newsupplements says
Evil, pure Evil. Every Muslim country should be sanctioned for allowing this horrific ideology free play in their country.
revereridesagain says
Males — there are no Muslim “men” — who murder their own kin in hope of eternal fornication — because the Muslim bordello paradise is nothing more — with renewable virgin hookers. And this is considered a sacred and holy thing in one of the world’s “great religions”.
Carol the 1st says
They remind me of happily roving dog packs (we used to sometimes see this in the early mornings years ago). They were having a fantastic time enjoying their sense of freedom and mutual brotherhood -but were potential powder kegs and a danger to other living creatures here on earth. All it took was an unruly mutt or the head dog’s sanction to “Go SIC-em!”.
“Sanctions” sound far too patient and misguided for an eyes-wide-open world. FAR better them than us.
Nakul jana says
Islam is a satanic sex cult and the rules are for devils pleasure. There is no place for Islamic cult in a civilized society. The illiterate Muslims doesn’t know that the total Islamic system is lies and fraud. It is proved by the Arabic Islamic scholars that the classical Islam is total lies and fraud created by druggist people to satisfy their sexual pleasure who treat woman as nothing more than sex slave
OLD GUY says
Islamic males are the sex pigs of the world. Even their religion promises sexual satisfaction after death, how sick is that. Total cult like control over females of all ages for sexual pleasure of the males is the islamic ideology. Sick people!
